A peculiarity of W3C's web site is that content is not removed, ever. This appears to be a non-negotaible site policy. Given that the 404 error is (IMO) the ideal response when one tries to access a test that has been rejected, I find this a peculiar policy. Instead, if a test is rejected we are obliged to change the content to say something like: <!-- This was a rejected test case. --> I share your desire for a clean deliverable from the test work. I tend to agree with you that clearer and stricter process would help ensure that, but I also agree with Dan that better process is not actually necessary; if someone is prepared to do the work to tidy things up post hoc. Possible machine generated clean test deliverables are: + a new directory with only approved tests in it + a document including inline all the approved tests (this could be the bulk of an OWL Test Cases WD) + index files for all the directories in the test case directory that only point to approved tests and hide rejected tests. I think a process document might help, if I were to create one it would essentially be a second draft of: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-webont-wg/2002Jul/0101.html however I have no desire to try and police Dan and Jos - a thankless task! Thus I tend to feel that the Test Cases WD with clear editorial responsibility is the best way to end up with a clean test deliverable. Jeremy
